The `detect_bom` attribute was added in 1.22. I must admit the the ChangeLog was not very clear about that, as it was part of the new `header` works and naming all attributes to that didn't look very useful at the time. The docs clearly state: `BOM (or Byte Order Mark) handling is available only inside the "header" method.` The BOM-related changes in versions 1.25, 1.31, 1.33, 1.34, and 1.35 make its use more reliable. Note that BOM-handling is unreliable (or nor working at all) in perl-5.6.x. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The thing which triggered my interest in BOM detection was an ugly escape sequence at the very beginning of my original data stream. I suspected it to be a BOM. I was kinda hoping BOM detection would get it out of the way. Otherwise I've got to come up with some other way of stripping it off.	[reply]

Post the results of this program to show what those bytes at the beginning of the file are. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Devel::Peek; open my $FH, "<:raw", "./test2.csv" or die "./test.csv $!"; my $line = <$FH>; Dump $line;` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]
